commit ff05d4b45dd89b922578dac497dcabf57cf771c6
When we parse a multi-BSSID element, we might point some
element pointers into the allocated nontransmitted_profile.
However, we free this before returning, causing UAF when the
relevant pointers in the parsed elements are accessed.
Fix this by not allocating the scratch buffer separately but
as part of the returned structure instead, that way, there
are no lifetime issues with it.
The scratch buffer introduction as part of the returned data
here is taken from MLO feature work done by Ilan.
This fixes CVE-2022-42719.
